Brain Health: Prevention First | Chenot Podcast

06 April 2026

Dr George Gaitanos speaks with Dr Antonella Santuccione Chadha – physician, neuroscientist and Founder of the Women’s Brain Foundation about why brain health must move from late-stage care to early prevention.
 
They explore what brain health really means, why cognitive decline is not always inevitable, and how education, lifestyle and early assessment can help protect function across the lifespan.

Dr Santuccione Chadha also explains why women are disproportionately affected by many brain and mental health conditions, how hormonal shifts can shape brain health, and why sex- and gender-informed medicine is essential for better prevention, diagnosis and care.

Listen now for a clear, evidence-informed conversation on protecting brain health.

We are here to transform medicine and healthcare towards precision medicine. Right now, there is a critical need for your support. Donate today and help us continue to study Sex and Gender differences impacting brain and mental diseases.

Health begins with human beings, individuals – men and women are different when it comes to brain and mental disease frequency, severity, symptomatology, risk factors and even response to treatments. Thanks to the gifts from supporters like you the scientific community is starting to take note. We have shown the world that in diseases like Alzheimer’s for instance, disease progression is faster in women than men and women show different levels of biomarkers.

Our goal is to clearly identify such differences in diseases, diagnostic, and treatments, as well as novel technologies, and leverage them for better solutions. We ask for better clinical outcomes, better care, and innovative artificial intelligence (AI)-based solutions. Sex and gender differences are the first steps towards precision medicine, which acknowledges the specific needs of each patient. Our ultimate ambition is the realisation of the Research Institute for Sex and Gender Precision Medicine.
